Except from a few online tournaments, most of the competitions were canceled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
2021
Kramarenko began her season competing in the 2021 Moscow Grand Prix, where she finished third in all around. She was registered to compete in the 2021 Sofia World Cup, along with Anastasia Simakova, but withdrew.
In May at Baku, she competed at her first senior World Cup,[9] winning silver in hoop, bronze in clubs and in bronze in all around, behind Boryana Kaleyn.[10] In June, Kramarenko competed in the 2021 European Championships in Varna, Bulgaria, finishing 5th in the hoop final and winning team gold with Dina and Arina Averina. In July, she competed in the 2021 Minsk World Cup Challenge, achieving gold in ribbon, bronze in hoop and silver in ball, clubs and all around, behind Alina Harnasko and in front of Anastasia Salos.[11] She also competed in the 2021 Moscow World Cup Challenge, replacing Arina Averina due to injury, winning silver in all events and all around, behind Dina Averina and in front of Ekaterina Vedeeneva.[12] Irina Viner selected Kramarenko, along with Ekaterina Selezneva and Daria Trubnikova, as the Olympic reserve athletes for the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.[citation needed]
In September, Lala competed at the Brno Tart Cup, where she won the all-around gold ahead of Daria Trubnikova and Irina Annenkova.

In the Barcelona International City Tournament, she took the all-around gold in front of Daria Trubnikova and Alexandra Agiurgiuculese.[citation needed]
2022
After recovering from the Corona Virus Kramarenko started her season competing at the 2022 Moscow Grand Prix, where she won silver in the all-around, behind fellow Russian Teammate Dina Averina and ahead of Arina Averina. She also won gold in the ball and clubs final and silver in the ribbon final.[14]
At the 2022 Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship, she won bronze in the all-around behind Dina and Arina Averina. In the Apparatus Finals, she won Silver in Clubs, Hoop and Ribbon as well as Gold in the Ball Final.[citation needed]
A few weeks later, the FIG banned all Russian and Belarusian Athletes due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[15] As of March 2024, she and her Russian teammates could only compete in domestic competitions, which prevented them from qualifying Spots for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Although they could’ve qualified 1 Spot and compete under neutral status if they’d meet certain criteria from the IOC.[16] This will be the first Olympics without Russian Gymnasts since 1984.[17]
